"Oh? Have you already found a clue?"

Seeing Zane Truesdale's stunned expression, Jaden Yuki showed a slight smile.

"Cards in the Graveyard being sent to the Banish Zone... Could it be?"

Zane Truesdale focused his gaze on the "Masked HERO Dark Law" on Jaden Yuki's field.

"That's right, this is the effect of Masked HERO Dark Law!"

Jaden Yuki no longer concealed it.

After all, even a keen observer could now see Dark Law's effect.

To continue hiding it would be somewhat uninteresting.

"As long as Dark Law exists on the field, any cards you send to the Graveyard will be banished directly from the game."

Jaden Yuki calmly uttered words that shocked everyone.

Directly banished from... the Graveyard?

This, this is too sinister, isn't it?

No!

If your entire Graveyard is cleared, this can no longer be considered sinister!

This is practically grave-robbing!

Can Masked HERO Dark Law even surpass the underworld?

"..." Zane Truesdale's expression also turned grim.

His Cyber Dragons, which he considered his life, were now forced to leave the Duel due to Dark Law's effect.

And, two of them left the field at once.

In other words...

Only one Cyber Dragon remained dormant in his Deck?

Looking at the two cards left in his hand, Zane Truesdale couldn't help but sigh, Jaden Yuki was indeed more powerful than he had imagined.

But he was not without a chance to resist.

"I Normal Summon 'Cyber Larva' in Defense Position."

[Cyber Larva]

[Level: 1]

[ATK: 400, DEF: 600]

Buzz~

Accompanied by the Summoning light effect, a miniature Cyber Dragon appeared on Zane Truesdale's field.

"Turn end."

Zane Truesdale ended his turn.

"So strong, he completely suppressed Zane?"

Looking at the situation on the field, Atticus Rhodes, with a red packet on his head, looked surprised.

"In my three years since enrollment, this is the first time I've seen a Duelist push Zane to this extent..."

"This Jaden Yuki... is truly terrifying."

Seeing the shock on her brother's face.

Alexis Rhodes clenched her fists, her gaze fixed sternly on the black-clad, jellyfish-haired boy on the stage.

"Jaden Yuki..." From a distance, Aster Phoenix, leaning by the gymnasium door, also showed a hint of surprise.

He had initially thought that Jaden Yuki was not a worthy opponent to study.

But from the first turn's offense and defense, the level of play they both displayed was already very high.

Whether it was their use of the Deck or their control over cards.

Both of them undoubtedly possessed the skill of professional Duelists.

If he were on the field.

Would he have been able to defend against 'Zane's' attack in the first turn?

...

"Amazing... both of them are amazing!"

"They're fighting so fiercely in just the first turn? Damn, I feel like I'm already breaking out in a cold sweat."

"From the field, Jaden Yuki still has the advantage..."

"Will Jaden Yuki end the game next turn? Or can Zane Truesdale hold out until his next turn?"

"I think it's going to be tough, that one-star fodder monster with only 600 Defense Points, what can it possibly do...?"

The audience below discussed animatedly.

One-star monsters can all be terrifying, Jaden Yuki thought to himself, a slight complaint.

"Jaden, be careful." Yubel's voice slowly surfaced in Jaden Yuki's ear.

"That child carries a very powerful force within him."

"Yubel..." Jaden Yuki glanced at Yubel, smiling, "Don't worry, I won't lose this Duel."

"Is that so? Are you going to use the Supreme King's power?" Yubel asked.

The Supreme King's power...

Looking at the "Evil HERO Adusted Gold" in his hand.

Jaden Yuki chuckled and shook his head.

"He hasn't pushed me to the point of using this card yet."

"Besides, I still want to leave a lasting impression on this third-year honor student."

"Heh heh, alright... whatever makes you happy." Yubel smiled, her figure slowly disappearing from beside Jaden Yuki.

"My turn, draw!"

Jaden Yuki glanced at the card he drew.

Elemental HERO Ocean?

"I Normal Summon 'Elemental HERO Ocean' in Attack Position."

Water light shot up to the sky.

A sky-blue HERO holding a staff appeared on Jaden Yuki's field.

[Elemental HERO Ocean]

[Level: 4]

[ATK: 1500, DEF: 1200]

"Ocean attacks Cyber Larva!"

A ripple of water spread across the virtual field.

Ocean, staff in hand, leaped towards Cyber Larva.

With a swing of his staff.

In an instant, Cyber Larva's body shattered and fell apart.

"Only 600 Defense Points, it can't withstand it at all." Someone below sighed.

However, Zane Truesdale's face remained expressionless.

He crossed his arms and said coldly, "When Cyber Larva is selected as an attack target, all battle damage I take this turn becomes 0."

"Eh?" A faint gasp of surprise could be heard from the audience.

But...

Zane Truesdale's brow furrowed as he watched the Cyber Larva being sent to the Banish Zone.

This card's second effect states that when it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, he can Special Summon another Cyber Larva from his Deck.

But now, due to Dark Law's effect, it would not be sent to the Graveyard but directly banished.

Its second effect, therefore, could not be activated...

But at least, he survived this turn.

As long as he could draw that card...

Zane Truesdale's eyes gradually sharpened.

As long as he drew that card, he still had hope of winning!
